Passing the variable value in the api as below: https://webhooks.voicemonkey.io/catch/aefdfde159807039f4c21fa0a5feXXXX/c8823cfXXX?var-test_variable=may%20be%20working But the variable is not getting the value which I've pass in the request. It is always getting the initial value given.

Can i somehow suppress the phrase "Ok, here is Voice Monkey" ? every time i run a flow by voice activation, please?

I love everything that has been added so far, really remarkable! However, it would be a game changer if for the Question action with regard to Flows if it was possible to ask an open-ended question and to capture whatever text was spoken back to the device and assign it to a variable. This would be a game changer, with the captured text then able to be sent to another service via webhook for example.

I have a button connected to home assistant that i'd like to use to turn on/off a light. The light is locked into the alexa echosystem, so no way to import it directly into home assistant unfortunately. I'd like to also be able to turn the light on/off with alexa voice commands. The issue I have is that there is no option in Alexa routines to toggle the current state of the device - a routine can only turn the device on or turn it off. Is there any way for voicemonkey to read the state of the bulb from alexa? Alternatively, is there a way to set up a routine to update voicemonkey when the bulb is turned on or turned off so voicemonkey can keep a record of the state?

Show announcment text on echo show, multiple conditions in one flow

I would like to use a web request that could retrieve the alert image data and display the image on Ech Show from Blue Iris Camera software when camera is alerted. Blue Iris has the data available as himl coded variables, just need to get it to be pulled by Volce Monkey

It would be great if we can trigger a "Flow" when the Variable value changes. It will surely help in so many cases. For example, when the variable value changes to 'Rain', Amazon Echo will announce that there is rain outside, don't forget to take your umbrella or bring your clothes inside etc.

Voice Monkey works perfectly to display camera video on my Echo 'Shows' using Flows. But if Silk is not shut off, it will sometimes stay open for hours. To circumvent this problem, I use a second Echo device in proximity to each Echo Show that whispers, "Alexa, go home" after a 30 second 'Wait' in the Flow. :-) Adding a Flow option to 'Shut off browser' after a 'Wait' would be more acceptable than my current solution. Using the second Echo to shut off the browser does not work when there is noise in the room which drowns out the "...Go Home" phrase.

Please implimant a way to notify voice monkey users for new features, blog posts or any news.

The Grandfather Clock does not work with Echo Show Gen 1 (not surprising actually) and does not work with Generation 4 Echo Dot, but works with Generation 5 Echo Dot. Which means that I can only use it in the kitchen or bedroom, when I need it to work in the Living Room (gen 4).
